Wow again another coin flip.  Almost nailed it on 3 but then it was ok there are only 3 words left, I think.  Got it on the last one.  Dang first one on 6 but better then missing it.

Here are my Tim Horton Hockey Challenge picks for today.

For your song of the day I give you a song from 93.  It is from Beck and is called Loser.  Beck says that he was trying to rap like Public Enemy's Chuck D and when he heard it on the play back he thought it was so bad that he was a loser.  Thus the chorus of the song.

Here is another song that was banned in Britain.  The band is Smashing Pumpkins and the song is Disarm.  This 90s band was limited in airplay due to the lyrics "cut that little child", "the killer in me is the killer in you" and "what I choose is my choice".  The laters objectionability was based on the premise that it was pro-abortion.  Frontman Billy Corgan said the song was just about his bad relationship with his parents while he was growing up.    Remember you can follow me by clicking on the blue follow button. .If you are making any amazon.ca purchases please click on my links below first as I will get a small commission on anything you buy even if it is something else.

Song of the Day for Thursday

 I can't believe on a day of remembrance of the Holocaust I am hearing that a Tennessee school board is banning Art Spiegelman's Pulitzer Prize winning graphic novel Maus.  This happened a couple of weeks ago but I am just hearing about this backwater school board in McMinn County.  To read about that click here.  I heard Mr Spiegelman speak and he said that McMinn County is only has 30 percent of its students reading at their grade level.  Not sure if that is true but I bet so if you are banning Maus.  I had 3 copies of that in my library as it was in and out so often.  Pretty stupid if you ask me.  Next you will be banning talking about slavery and eradicating the Native Americans.  Oh wait they are doing that in Texas.  Freaking Rednecks.  So I thought to myself, "Self, what would be a good song for today.  A  song that was banned."   I know Space Oddity has been banned but I posted The Flaming Lips version last month.  So I decided on The Prodigy song Smack My Bitch Up which was banned from MTV.  A great dance song with misogynistic lyrics for sure.  I picked three videos (the most I have ever done).   One that is just the song with somebody's video, a live version and somebody's South Park version.  There is one that gives the history of the song but if I embed it then it is age restricted not sure why.  If you click on this link it should work though.  There is a 2021 remake video but it is a little too gory for even me but you can look up Patrick Cutler remake.   If you are making any amazon.ca purchases please click on my links below first as I will get a small commission on anything you buy even if it is something else.

 Hopefully Santa was nice to you yesterday.  I went with Johnny, Kathy and the evil one to see Ned's Atomic Dustbin in 91 over in Royal Oak Michigan.  Great band and a great show.  I had one of their famous concert tees put aside my whole teaching career and planned on wearing it at my retirement but my daughter must have swiped it again.  Here is what it looked like.

Anyways the album God Fodder is excellent and I have picked Grey Cell Green or as most people call the song Desire.  I like the album so much that I have all 13 songs on my phone.  Enjoy your last day of the weekend.   If you are making any amazon.ca purchases please click on my links below first as I will get a small commission on anything you buy even if it is something else.

 People of the opposite gender loved Dave Grohl singing "Breathe out so I can breathe you in".  Not sure what Deaners favourite song from the Foo Fighters is but Everlong is a great song.  During the production of their second LP, The Colour and the Shape, Grohl was served with his divorce papers.  Production had been going poorly so they took a break and he went back to Virginia where he wrote Everlong, probably one the bands signature songs.   If you are making any amazon.ca purchases please click on my links below first as I will get a small commission on anything you buy even if it is something else.

 No I don't have the butt camera video.  That was yesterday.  Today is Friday so welcome to the weekend. I saw that the President decided to have a colonoscopy today after my post yesterday. Hey, Alanis Morissette has an HBO documentary out called, you guessed it, Jagged.  You remember her from the 90s.  The Canadian alt-rocker that pushed her way into the boys club and made some dude feel like a prick that he was.  Well I have that on DVD but I am going to play a cover that I actually liked better by 1000 Mona Lisas and their cover of You Oughta Know which I also have on CD.  I also posted the trailer for Jagged below.  If you are  making any amazon.ca purchase please click on my links below first as I will get a small commission on anything you buy even if it is something else.
